The source of the sound was a man with a round figure like a bucket at the door. In addition to the unusual bucket figure, what was more striking was the red turban wrapped on his head, but it was not very red, and it seemed to have become black and greasy due to wind and rain. He held a big knife in his right hand, and there was a deep scar under his left eye, which showed his courage.

Looking out the door, there were more than one person coming. Four men were following behind the man, all with a unified red turban on their heads, and they were not kind-eyed people at first glance.

The leading "bucket man" did not regard himself as an outsider at all. After entering the house, his eyes shaking on everyone. He just smiled and walked towards the bench without laughing. He sat on the stool, picked up Pu Zixuan's unfinished cup of tea and sent it into his mouth.

At the same time, four followers entered the house one after another and stood on both sides of the Bucket Man.

The tea quickly came to an end. The man looked at the cup angrily, then put it back into its original position, and then shouted, "What are you still standing there? Where is the wine?"

"Qiu Qingsheng, it's you again... You came a few months ago, so why do we say you will give up?" Lao Jiamei stared at the Bucket Man fiercely, her eyes full of disgust. It seemed that the two sides had known each other for a long time and had an unpleasant conversation.

Lao Zhengye also snorted coldly: "If you come to ask for a glass of wine, we are happy to serve it, but I guess your drunkenness is not at all about the wine, right?"

The man named Qiu Qingsheng smiled and said, "Hahaha, it's not bad. We have to drink what we should drink. In addition, I would like to ask you another question: Have you considered joining our Nian Army?"

After hearing this, Pu Zixuan immediately understood that these guys who had red turbans were members of the anti-Qing army, an anti-Qing organization that had been entrenched in northern China for a long time, that is, the Lao siblings said, "Nianzi" who often came to Yongning Village to catch strong men and made them restless.

It really means that Cao Cao has arrived. It seems that a conflict is inevitable.

Lao Jiamei refused and said, "We have said many times that our Lao family practiced martial arts to fulfill our ancestors' wishes and returned to Laoshan, not to join any organization that resisted the court. There is no need to consider this matter at all. I hope you will not disturb us again in the future."

Qiu Qingsheng waved his hand and said disdainfully: "I, Qiu Qingsheng, don't want to disturb you, and don't like running errands. It's a pity, this time and then, today's pattern is very different from a few months ago. Haha, do you know that although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising in the south failed, there are still some residual forces operating all over the country... Now, the Taiping Army Yuan Zun Wang Lai Wenguang led the remaining troops to join our Nian Army. After we merged into one, our strength is no longer the same as before. We beat Senggelinqin all over the ground in Hubei, Henan and other places. How about it? Isn't this exciting?"

Lao Jiamei sneered, "It's not bad, even Prince Senggelinqin was defeated by you, but it is indeed a great military achievement. It's time to be excited. But what does this have to do with us?"

"The next thing is the key point." Qiu Qingsheng slowly raised his round body and said, "According to reliable information, the monk thieves are eager to prove themselves and will lead their troops to Shandong to attack our army in the near future. We have made careful arrangements and plan to set up an ambush in Cao County, to catch turtles in a jar, and completely eliminate this major problem. Therefore, the current situation is very beneficial to us, but in order to ensure that there is no mistake, we have decided to recruit some people who can conquer and fight into the army. Your descendants of the family are our goal. As long as the monk thieves can be killed in this battle, I will advise Lai Shuai to reward you for your merits."

Lao Jiamei said disdainfully: "Not whether you can get rid of Senggelinqin, even if you succeed, do you think the court will give up? I am afraid that the one who comes to encircle you will not be a Senggelinqin, but the whole camp of the official army will be dispatched. I advise you not to eat mutton and make you slut... In my opinion, it is better to be your mountain king, and maybe you can live a few more years."

"Hahaha..." Qiu Qingsheng burst into laughter again, "This is a bad thing. We also get information that the Qing emperors would go all out on the eighth day of the fourth month to go to Mount Tai to worship the sky. The time is similar to the monks going to Shandong, and we will make arrangements at that time. Once the emperor and Cixi's old witches have returned to heaven, do you think there are still people who can command those troops?"

"Ah? On the eighth day of the fourth month? The emperor is going to Mount Tai to worship the sky?" Pu Zixuan had not heard of this news before. When he heard the "8th day of the fourth month" and "Shan Tai", he immediately thought of something and became so shocked that he grew up.

On the eighth day of April... Isn't it the time when Ouyang Zhiguo asked me to have a decisive battle? Why is it the same day? And why is it the same place?

This information that even the enemy could find out was, as the emperor's direct spy organization, Ouyang Zhiguo could not even know that his master was going to sacrifice to the sky. So, either Qiu Qingsheng got fake information, or Ouyang Zhiguo was deliberately planning a conspiracy!

The greater possibility is the latter, because the time and place are completely like they were deliberately designed!

Pu Zixuan couldn't figure it out for a while, but his exclamation attracted Qiu Qingsheng's gaze. The little leader looked up and down and sneered: "You kid also look like a martial arts practitioner. Why? Why haven't I seen you in the village before? Why are you asking? Why don't you sign up quickly!"

Seeing that Pu Zixuan was targeted, Lao Yunchang, who had not spoken, quickly rescued and said, "You misunderstood. They are just tourists from afar, it's not their business. If you have anything to say, just come for us." After that, he handed to Pu Zixuan again, "You go out first, go quickly!"

Pu and Chen had no intention of leaving, but Qiu Qingsheng suddenly showed a cold light and blew the sword in his hand and said, "It's too late, village chief. Today, since the people present already know our plan, they either join our army or leave their heads here. Our plan must not be revealed by anyone."

After saying that, the four followers also pulled out big swords from the scabbards and looked murderous.

Although a fight was about to break out, Pu Zixuan's heart was not turbulent. Instead, he joked to Chen Shuqing: "It's really time for us to come. Before we achieve our goal, we will do some extravagant things. If we had known this, it would be better to have a meal at the village chief's house."

Chen Shuqing also made a helpless face and said, "It's over, what do you think you should do?"

Seeing that the two of them were not anxious or slow, Qiu Qingsheng was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Haha, you are really calm. I guess you have some skills. Have you seen people in big scenes? I like such a guy, and I really can't bear to kill him."

"It's hard to say whether the scene we've seen is big or not, but it's definitely bigger than you." Pu Zixuan ridiculed, "By the way, since I like me, I'll ask a question: Do you know someone named Ouyang Zhiguo?"

"I don't know you, you're not talking nonsense!" Qiu Qingsheng gradually lost his patience and said in a high voice, "I will say the last time that we call the 'Nian Army' is because we have to rub the twig fuel during the Gods' Tournament. One twig is a few people, at least a few dozen people, and at most a few people, those who live for the people, and those who come out are a twig. I can give you a preferential condition. If you join our army, after completing the task of ambushing Senggelinqin, you can choose to officially join the twig, or return here to serve the people. This is my biggest concession, otherwise, don't blame me for turning against others!"

Lao Jiamei swept the five people around and said disapprovingly: "Just rely on you? Haha, I don't think about where you are. Not to mention that if we really fight, it's not certain that we will win or lose. Even if you can get out of this house, do you think you can get out of this village?"

Qiu Qingsheng glared and said, "So, are you swearing to die?"

Lao Zhengye shouted, "So what if you don't follow me? If you want to do it, then come, just let me practice my hands and feet!"

"Hahahaha..." Qiu Qingsheng couldn't help laughing, "Do you really think that I only brought such a few people this time?"

"What?" Lao Jiamei felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

Qiu Qingsheng refused to answer, and walked out of the house with four followers swaggeringly and said proudly: "Or, you can come out and take a look."

Everyone immediately followed out of the house, and suddenly, the scene around them made the crowd gasp.

"Brothers, some people don't have toast late and get a penalty for drinking. Don't be polite, come out!"
